Depending on what they can afford, people will pay 1 cent to $24 a day to stay year-round.

Hollywood is paying Cononie $4.8 million to hit the road and not come back for 30 years. In return, the city will take over the homeless shelter and nine other Cononie-owned properties.

Around 80 homeless people will be relocated to shelters outside Hollywood as part of the deal, Cononie said. Some will wind up at Cononie-owned properties in Dania Beach and unincorporated Broward County near Davie.

By Cononie's estimates, up to 15 homeless people have opted not to move and will be left behind in Hollywood.

"Ten or 15 are on their own," Cononie said. "They don't want to go with us. They want to get their own places. Some may be homeless. With us being gone, I think that's going to put a major strain on the system. We were the dumping ground. We are no longer going to be that."

Some residents and business owners are worried about what might become of the homeless who have opted to stay in Hollywood.

Hernandez says the city and its homeless program coordinator are ready with a plan.
